That Hummels tackle isn't a foul. He gets the ball FFS. VAR and all refs are not fit for purpose and are slowly ruining the game (not even that slowly any more). It looked a pen 1st viewing but when you have the benefit of a replay to see he wins the ball and you still give the pen then it's either a) corruption (backing up your mate) or b) incompetence

if that is a foul, there is little hope, it was a challenge from a centra half you’ll see exectued with no repercussion every week.

Absolutely, the striker went for the "foul" pretty quickly, no attempt to continue playing, really hammed it up.
Crazy that it was given.

Come on Porto. Pop this gooner balloon.

To be honest, I’d rather Arsenal go through. They’ve a better chance of beating the cheating scum than Porto would.

That’s one of the misses of the century

Oh they will go through, but I would like to see Arsenal hit a bit of a snag. We need a momentum brake. A loss or a draw away from home would be nice.

Napoli are so bad. They're making this Barca team look like peak Barca '10.

I used to think it was unfair, but they actually need to bring back the away goal rule. It feels like a lot of these first legs have been pretty boring, with teams happy to settle with a draw or narrow loss.

Mixed bag I think. 0-0 at home nowhere near as good a result for an underdog.

Teams used to concentrate on not conceding at home, in hope of playing for a draw away.

Will have to work a lot harder in the home leg. Still want them to go through so they play more games

We used to slap this Porto team about.

Still expect Arsenal to go through but unless they blow Porto away in the first 20 minutes, they'll be forced to work hard for it.

I reckon they celebrated when they found out we wouldn't be in it, and vowed not to finish third in their group lest they get their annual trouncing!

That's a beautiful goal.

Peak Coutinho.

Good strike for the goal but Keepers positioning is crap. Shouldn’t have been a goal.

tubby · « **Reply #62 on:** February 21, 2024, 09:56:24 pm »

Great goal. Think Arsenal will beat them over here, but at least now they'll have to put out their best team for it.

We ideally want Arsenal through but that means second leg will be tough.

And they play Saturday night.

No Rice in the return leg could be significant.

Arsenal will still go through, but like I said, if they kept the away goal rule, they would be in trouble.

Mister Flip Flop · « **Reply #67 on:** February 21, 2024, 09:57:26 pm »

Lovely result. They have to go full strength now for 2nd leg.

JRed · « **Reply #68 on:** February 21, 2024, 09:57:45 pm »

Ha. Keeps Arsenal from resting any players in the second leg. Good result really.

exiledintheUSA · « **Reply #69 on:** February 21, 2024, 09:58:10 pm »

Had no idea that there was CL games tonight, shows how small a club Arsenal is to be honest.

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #70 on:** February 21, 2024, 09:58:31 pm »

they’ll have to play their strongest side in the 2nd leg now. Beating Porto 5-0 away isn’t for everyone. Or 4-1. Or 5-1 (was it?). So many, I can’t remember!

Ha ha ha. I'd forgotten about this and just switched over in time for that. Unlucky, Lego Head.

Yep, Arse are still faves to go through; but it has to be said that for a nation with the population of Portugal, their ability to produce such gifted players is phenomenal.

Redley · « **Reply #73 on:** February 21, 2024, 10:00:35 pm »

They’d spent a good few minutes making out like Rice had channeled his inner Edgar Davids (which is obviously below his normal level but still pretty good) and he then gives it away cheaply (which they bizarrely bigged up!) and than shit out for the goal

All three, Nick. 5-0 and 4-1 away in knock outs, 5-1 away in the groups in 21/22

I've always said the intensity of the CL as it progresses, will aid us in dragging our rivals and stretching their squad. Arsenal going through would be a good thing, 2 more fixtures, and more commitment needed from them.

Arsenal with zero shots on target apparently

The ideal is for them and the cheats to get tough quarter-final draws that push them to extra time, face each other in the semis (which goes to penalties), and then, for fun, they can try beating Real Madrid in the final. Although I'd rather that shower of twats didn't win it either.
